To whom it may concern,

I have had the pleasure of working with Tom on several cases over the last six years and can confidently describe his work as thoughtful and thorough. He is responsive and reliable, and very professional when called upon to present his work both in and out of court. I have greatly appreciated the way in which he has communicated with clients who are going through the stress of difficult litigation, and highly recommend him and his team to anyone needing to gather hard evidence and facts.

Sincerely,

To whom it may concern,

I am an attorney with N.C. Prison Legal Services, Inc. in Raleigh. I review prisoners' claims of wrongful conviction. I have had two cases in Western N.C. in which I have employed Investigator Chickos and they have been wonderful experiences. Inv. Chickos is extremely meticulous documenting his work and provides frequent and clear updates to the attorney with whom he is working. He is also incredibly effective.

One of the cases involved a fraudulent check writing scheme. Within two full days, Inv. Chickos located concrete documentation that not only proved my client did not commit the crimes for which he was convicted, but also identified the actual perpetrator. Inv. Chickos was able to get a law enforcement officer to meet with him and view images captured from the surveillance video to identify the actual perpetrator. The State consented to a Motion for Appropriate Relief and my client was released in June 2014 after more than four years in prison.

In the other case, Inv. Chickos was able to track down all three witnesses who had testified in a trial twenty years earlier. He provided detailed summaries of interviews with the witnesses and brought another investigator along who would be able to serve as another witness for me at evidentiary hearing.

I recommend Inv. Chickos and his form to everyone in my office and to all criminal defense attorneys in Western N.C. His work is top-notch. Rarely do I find someone to whom I can delegate tasks and be fully confident that the work product will exceed my high expectations; Inv. Chickos is one of those rare people.

Should anyone wish to discuss his work further, I am available at (919) 865-4803 and would be happy to answer your questions.
